## Abstract Urinary metabolites of the tobaccoβspecific nitrosamine 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanone (NNK), 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanol (NNAL) and its glucuronides, termed total NNAL, have recently been shown to be good predictors of lung cancer risk, years before di

In the United States, about 90% of deaths from lung cancer among men and 79% of those among women are associated with smoking. Tobacco-specific nitrosamines are formed from nicotin
## Abstract Native Hawaiian smokers are at higher risk and JapaneseβAmerican smokers at lower risk of lung cancer (LC), compared with white smokers, even after accounting for smoking history. Because variation in carcinogen exposure/metabolism may occur separately of smoking amount, we compared uri
